I keep returning to La Badia for my morning prayer. Why not try the Duomo? Simple answer: La Badia is quiet, and by that I mean there is not a sound; the Duomo, on the other hand, always has a Mass going on in one of its chapels. I need all quiet I can get because I get distracted easily, very easily! My concentration is poor so I have work intensely to stay with one thought. In fact, I’m so used to flitting from one idea to another that I’m not usually aware I am doing so.
But when I pray, God reminds me, and with that reminder, I ask for God’s help to concentrate better. I am beginning to notice progress in my prayer, and also in my other activities. A good example is this writing that I am doing here at the café. My mind goes all over the place, but I am aware of this hyperactivity of thought and of God drawing me back to the task at hand.
